Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House in Washington D.C. One from Bangladesh , another from India and the third, from China.<\/p>\n
They go to White House office to examine the fence.<\/p>\n
The Bangladesh contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. “Well”, he says, “I figure the job will run about $900. ($400 for materials, $400 for my team and $100 profit for me)”.<\/p>\n
The Chinese contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, “I can do this job for $700. ($300 for materials, $300 for my team and $100 profit for me)”.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Indian contractor doesn’t measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, “$2,700.”<\/p>\n
The official, outraged says, “You didn’t even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?”<\/p>\n
The Indian contractor whispers back, “$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from China to fix the fence.”<\/p>\n
“Done!” replies the government official.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
